Grays
Harbor College (GHC) is located in Aberdeen Washington, USA. The campus
is situated in the Alder Creek Watershed and is the site of the unique
Donald F. Samuelson Model
Watershed. An undertaking of the college students, staff, faculty and
administrators, this project is a tremendous asset to the college and local
community.

A small microcosm of a much larger watershed, the Chehalis
River Basin, the Model Watershed Project is a story of nature's recovery
over time. GHC and local school students can monitor and assess the water
quality,
participate in wetland restoration projects, and learn more about the importance
of watersheds through their on-going studies.

We invite you to visit our website or come in person to enjoy the trails.
Watch the seasonal changes of the watershed. Spring brings salamanders and
frogs.
Summer is witness to turtles sunning themselves on logs. Autumn welcomes back
the salmon, while winter hosts migrating birds and returning river otters.
Visitors
can observe lively riparian, alder and old growth habitats while strolling
on the meandering trails. There is no appointment necessary. For directions
to
the Donald F. Samuelson Model Watershed, or to schedule a presentation about
this project at your school, club, or organization call (360) 538-4179.
